Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if my 1911 has a Novak-style dovetail cut?
The Novak dovetail is one of the most common aftermarket sight cuts on 1911-pattern pistols. This sight specifically fits a .330" × .075" × 65° dovetail with a .180" blade height. If you're unsure, check your firearm's documentation or measure the existing front sight dovetail with calipers. Pistols from Sig Sauer, Rock Island Armory, Armscor, and American Classic are confirmed compatible out of the box.
Can I change the LitePipe color without any special tools?
Yes — the HiViz interchangeable LitePipe system is designed for tool-free swaps in the field. The included green, red, and white pipes snap in and out quickly, allowing you to match your pipe color to shooting conditions, personal preference, or the target background without needing gunsmithing skills or additional equipment.
Does this sight require modifications to my existing 1911 slide?
No modifications are required if your 1911 already has a Novak-style dovetail front sight cut. The HiViz LiteWave front sight is a direct drop-in replacement. If your pistol has a pinned or non-standard front sight, a gunsmith may be needed to cut or re-cut the appropriate dovetail before installation.
